Shards of light
As the nights draw in, Elizabeth Alker shares ambient and experimental music to keep the darkness at bay, from the likes of Grouper, Lisa Lerkenfeldt and Makoto Nomura.
As the nights draw in, Elizabeth Alker shares a selection of shimmering ambient and experimental music to keep the darkness at bay.
There’ll be hazy reflections on light and dark from Australian composer Lisa Lerkenfeldt, whose latest work was inspired by an encounter with someone who explores abandoned underground tunnels. And new piano pieces created by Japanese composer Makoto Nomura following his visit to a research retreat at Tokyo University’s Memu Earth Lab. Plus a dive into the back catalogue of dreamy ambient favourite Grouper, aka Liz Harris, to mark the repressing of some of her most popular releases since her debut in 2005.
Produced by Katie Callin.
